Let’s return to the story of Ye Wangchuan and Li Luo.
After completing their assassination mission, Ye Wangchuan prepared to return to the Li Family. After all, Master Fang Que was still there.
But just then, Li Luo suddenly tugged at Ye Wangchuan’s sleeve.
“What is it?” Ye Wangchuan turned his head, puzzled.
“My legs are sore. Carry me,” Li Luo said while climbing onto Ye Wangchuan’s back.
Startled, Ye Wangchuan quickly reached behind him, grabbed the back of Li Luo’s collar, and pulled her down. He held her up like a kitten, bringing her face-to-face with him.
“If your legs are sore, just rest. There’s no Dire Bear chasing you now,” Ye Wangchuan said, exasperated.
“I’m lazy. Hurry up and carry me back to the Li Family! Didn’t I give you all those pills yesterday for this very purpose?” Li Luo dangled her limbs in the air.
“I only agreed to accompany you for the night, and I’m doing that now,” Ye Wangchuan said, slightly amused by Li Luo’s flailing.
“That doesn’t count! I was helping you kill someone, not going for a stroll! I gave you three cultivation pills. Now carry me!” Li Luo said with a hint of anger.
Ye Wangchuan thought for a moment, then a light seemed to dawn on him.
“How about I have a female attendant from the Ye Family carry you? We’re in the city, after all,” Ye Wangchuan suggested, raising an eyebrow.
At this, Li Luo’s expression froze.
“No! I want you to carry me! You’re the only one who can do it properly! Why bother someone else in the middle of the night?” Li Luo said stubbornly.
Having gotten his answer, Ye Wangchuan stroked his chin and began calculating.
Yesterday, after Li Luo killed the Dire Bear, he had carried her back to the Longevity Palace.
Not only had Li Luo given him a bunch of pills, but she had also reached the early stage of the first rank the next day.
This meant that during that night, Li Luo had received an extraordinary amount of rewards.
Initially, Ye Wangchuan had thought these rewards were due to Li Luo’s feat of killing a Dire Bear at the peak of the first rank despite being at a lower level.
But today, Li Luo had suddenly and unexpectedly demanded that he carry her again.
Combined with her outright refusal to be carried by a female attendant, Ye Wangchuan began to piece things together.
“Does she gain system rewards whenever I carry her?”
After roughly figuring this out, Ye Wangchuan calculated the number of pills from the previous day.
Yesterday, Li Luo had given him 15 cultivation pills and 5 foundation-building pills.
She had also broken through to the first rank.
Even if she had a total of 24 cultivation pills and 8 foundation-building pills, it would mean that carrying Li Luo for a night could earn him enough pills to break through to the second rank.
Haha, Li Luo, I’m becoming more and more interested in your system.
After spending a second thinking this through, Ye Wangchuan looked at Li Luo and smiled slightly.
“You’re impossible.”
“Alright, come on.”
Ye Wangchuan hoisted Li Luo onto his back and began walking leisurely toward the Li Family.
On his back, Li Luo grinned.
It’s time for some fun farming of emotional points!
With that thought, she gently traced her fingers across Ye Wangchuan’s back.
Under her expectant gaze, a notification appeared:
[Villain Emotional Points +1]
And then…
Nothing else happened.
“Huh?”
Li Luo was puzzled. She then rubbed her thigh against Ye Wangchuan.
[Villain Emotional Points +5]
[Villain Emotional Points +5]
“?”
Why are the emotional points so low today?
Even if Ye Wangchuan has built up some resistance, it shouldn’t drop this much!
Damn it! For the sake of my cultivation pills, I’ll have to pull out the big guns!
With that thought, Li Luo loosened the coat Ye Wangchuan had given her earlier.
She then wrapped her arms around Ye Wangchuan’s neck, pulling herself closer until her body, clad in a qipao, pressed tightly against his back.
In her ear, the notifications began to sound again.
[Villain Emotional Points +200]
[Villain Emotional Points +200]
“Hey, Li Luo. What are you doing?”
Ye Wangchuan felt the movement behind him and asked coldly.
Hearing this, Li Luo smirked.
“Huh? I just felt like the coat was in the way. What’s wrong?”
“Oh~ Young Master Ye Wangchuan~ Are you getting any ideas~?”
“Well, you are eighteen and haven’t even touched a woman~”
[Villain Emotional Points +100]
[Villain Emotional Points +100]
“I told you, I just don’t care about women,” Ye Wangchuan said, exasperated.
“Oh, of course! Young Master Ye is so pure~ Not like those other young masters who play around all the time. They’re so dirty, don’t you think~?”
[Villain Emotional Points +100]
Ye Wangchuan took a deep breath, then reached back and gave Li Luo’s bottom a firm slap.
*Smack!*
Li Luo: “Mmph—”
Ye Wangchuan: “Behave yourself. Stop squirming around.”
With that, Ye Wangchuan stopped engaging with Li Luo.
Sometimes, he really wanted to pin Li Luo down in the roadside grass and give her a good beating until she never dared to provoke him again.
If it weren’t for the fact that Li Luo was an excellent source of resources, and he was afraid of accidentally breaking her, he would have taught her a lesson long ago.
Fortunately, after the slap, Li Luo stayed quiet… for a whole minute.
……
……
At the Li Family.
Ye Wangchuan carried Li Luo into the compound.
The guards recognized the two and didn’t stop them.
Ye Wangchuan walked to the garden and set Li Luo down on a wooden bench.
At this moment, Li Luo was ecstatic.
Just now, she had managed to squeeze 1,800 villain emotional points out of Ye Wangchuan.
Though it wasn’t as much as the first time, she was still satisfied.
After all, the first time always has the most novelty.
Li Luo checked her system space.
Inside were 6 cultivation pills, 2 foundation-building pills, and 2,280 villain emotional points.
Just as Li Luo was feeling pleased with herself…
“Li Luo, give me 24 cultivation pills and 8 foundation-building pills.”
“Sure… Wait, how many???”
Li Luo suddenly looked up at Ye Wangchuan, who stood before her, and asked word by word.
“24 cultivation pills? 8 foundation-building pills?” Li Luo repeated, confused.
“Yes, I need them to break through to the second rank,” Ye Wangchuan nodded.
“Are you crazy? I’m not giving you that much! It’s way too many!” Li Luo cursed.
“If you don’t, I won’t carry you around at night anymore,” Ye Wangchuan threatened directly.
“……”
“I… I can only give you 15 cultivation pills and 5 foundation-building pills, just like yesterday!” Li Luo tried to bargain as usual.
“No, I’ve raised my price. I want 24 cultivation pills and 8 foundation-building pills,” Ye Wangchuan said, not budging an inch.
“This…” Li Luo lowered her head and began counting on her fingers.
Tonight, she had earned 1,800 villain emotional points by having Ye Wangchuan carry her.
That was equivalent to 30 cultivation pills and 10 foundation-building pills.
So even if she gave Ye Wangchuan 24 cultivation pills and 8 foundation-building pills, Li Luo would still make a small profit.
Li Luo gritted her teeth.
For the sake of sustainable development, she had to give up a bit more.
With that thought, Li Luo slowly took out the pills from her pocket and handed them to Ye Wangchuan.
After giving them away, only 1,200 villain emotional points remained in her system space.
